"It may be time for Miami Heat fans to embrace what they are - and currently, they're a team built on the foundation of Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro. For better or worse, the Heat is likely locked into this reality for the foreseeable future. As NBA insider Jake Fischer notes, the mindset for the Heat moving forward is to add to the core of Bam and Herro, and not necessarily to subtract from it."
"Miami committed long-term to Bam a few years ago with a max extension, and it shouldn't be all that surprising if they did the same with Herro. Even if that doesn't happen during the October extension window for him, it will almost certainly happen next summer. The young core will play a vital role for the Heat's future Should that be the way the future for the Heat pans out, the team's development of the young core becomes that much important."
The Miami Heat currently center their roster on Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, with the front office favoring additions that bolster that core rather than trades that break it up. Adebayo already received a max extension and Herro is expected to receive a similar long-term deal, likely by next summer if not sooner. Committing near-max salaries to both will require meaningful development from younger players to form a capable supporting cast. Players like Kasparas Jakucionis and Nikola Jovic need significant individual growth over the next year or two to raise the team's ceiling and enable a push toward contention.
